All Blacks wing Mark Tele’a scored twice as New Zealand came from behind to beat England at Eden Park
England slipped to a second tight defeat in successive weeks vs New Zealand, as the All Blacks fought from behind to seal a 24-17 win at Eden Park, clinching a 2-0 series win.
All Blacks wing Mark Tele’a scored a try in either half – the second after a wonderful Beauden Barrett try assist – while England scored through Immanuel Feyi-Waboso and Tommy Freeman tries – both via Marcus Smith kick passes.
England were denied a late chance to cross for a third try which would have set up a conversion to draw 24-24, but a lengthy TMO review saw them penalised for obstruction in a maul by the try-line.
Steve Borthwick’s side had led by four points into the fourth quarter, but the All Blacks woke up to kick into gear from there, maintaining their unbeaten run at Eden Park since 1994.
The lineout of Scott Robertson’s New Zealand endured a torrid day, but they had just enough for victory as a first win on Kiwi soil vs the All Blacks since 2003 eluded England again.
